Last Thursday, a few TBAers swapped the tube for a pair of trainers to participate in #run2workday. Taking place at the beginning Thursday of every month, workers across the capital are being encouraged to trade in their Oyster cards and run to the office, raising money for the Evening Standard’s Dispossessed Fund.

Donating just £5 — the average cost of a one-way trip on public transport, the aim of the movement is to promote a change in attitudes towards exercise and the environment that rivals the cycling revolution that has already taken place in the capital. London Mayor Boris Johnson has already backed the scheme as a “great idea that will unite our dynamic and athletic workforce”.

See below a sneak-peak of the pavements pounded from two West London residents (we were sworn to not mention any names!):

Giving our runners a well-earned lunch time treat with the Regent's Place Farmer's market on our doorstep, we hope to have the whole office on board come September so don't forget to tune in next month!

#run2workday is a chance for everyone to experience how easy it can be to run to or from work, whether part of your journey or all the way, get fit and healthy and save money. Join the movement, sign up via https://www.run2work.com/.
